| Summary: | Fracture toughness is one of intrinsic property of material that showed the resistance
of material when having crack. Fracture toughness can be applied in mining. For
example are hydraulic fracturing test and rock fragmentation with blasting. The
objective of this research are to study the physical and numerical model in
determination of fracture toughness mode I using three point bending and Brazilian
test for andesite, limestone and cement paste.
To determine the value of fracture toughness mode I, physical model is made and
tested by three point bending and Brazilian test. Numerical model is made to observe
the failure process of rock sample in laboratory test. For physical test, every sample
is made with three rock sample, there are andesite, limestone and cement paste with
three different size of diameters. The size of diameter for andesite and limestone are
45 mm, 54 mm and 68 mm. Whereas the size of diameter for cement paste are 44
mm, 55 mm and 70 mm. The shape of rock sample that used for the three point
bending test is chevron bend, whereas Brazilian test using the shape of Brazililian
disc. The numerical modelling is using finite element method.
The result of this research shows that the value of fracture toughness mode I will be
larger along with the increasing of rock strengh. In addition, there is no scale effect
for every rock sample toward the value of fracture toughness mode I in three point
bending and Brazilian test. The difference of fracture toughness value (KIC) of all of
rock sample for both test Brazilian adn three point bending test are 0.030-0.630. This
result shows that the Brazilian (Guo, et al, 1993) can be used as alternative test to
determine the value of fracture toughness mode I at Laboratory of Geomechanics and
Mining Equipment, Institute Technology Bandung. Numerical modelling with finite
element method shows that rock fragmentation process starting from intersection of
V shape crack. This is indicated by decreasing of the strength factor (SF) value on
the model with gradual loading rate given. |
